lampfancy commented on Georgia's photo
Need help
"What type of lamp is it, and what bulb are you using? My assumption was that the 'grainy' appearance resulted from the wax not being completely molten - it may be the bulb you are using is does not heat the lamp enough."

I remember hearing that the newer post-reintroduction models didn't…"

lampfancy replied to lampfancy's discussion Mathmos price hike"Got a new Astro recently, while the metalwork seems well finished, the plastic forming the underside of the base looks pretty shoddy, with rough edges - much worse than my older Astro, from around 2000, and to think they now cost nearly double…"
